You are making a number of assumptions here.
Mainly though, you are introducing the usual minimum wage strawmen so you can beat on those.
I have no interest in promoting a system that discourages businesses. I also have not suggested that current minimum wages are too high or too low. All I did was poke fun at a silly comment.
Try thinking about wages with a little complexity instead of in such black and white terms.
In fact, try thinking of the best minimum wage strategy you can, and then explain the problems with that solution, and why they are insurmountable.
Then you will be bringing something to the table. Currently you're using talking-point arguments equivalent to "if we allow interracial marriage, then next people will be marrying animals". I'm not clear if you think most of us who are not pure free-market types are ignorant of basic economic theory. I can tell you that I am not; I am well aware of what econ101 has to say about minimum wage.
Well then you should be laughing that the false claim that a removal of a minimum wage would somehow lead us to a return to slavery. Furthermore you'll also understand that the most efficient manner in which wages could and should be set is through the free market and based on conditions which reflect the current economic reality of said free market rather than increases or decreases made government officials who are far removed from market realities. In addition you should realize that employers will and do select prospective employees based on whether they will be an asset to their business which justifies hiring them at their hourly wage., etc.
